For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:11

Rumpole's Christmas Sermon:

The key word in the biblical verse is "You". "For unto YOU..." 

Who is you? Is it just citizens? Or Kings? Or Potentates? Or the rich and powerful? 

No. 

For unto you means humanity. All those who were created in the image of their maker; a savior was born for them.  For Presidents, potentates, and the poor, the sick, the prisoners, the weak and the strangers amongst us- the immigrant huddled in a doorway hungry and cold. This is who Jesus arrived in a manger for. 

Remember that in the coming months as the rhetoric heats up and people are dehumanized and called animals by the same people who attended Mass last night and today.  Remember who the lord came on earth for. 

Merry Christmas.
